IT'S OSCAR TIME

February 19, 2018

February is Oscar month, and though the past couple of years have been pretty much a bust at the box office for good movies, here are a few of the more memorable quotes from my favorite movies of the past year.

“Here at NASA, we all pee the same color.”

Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) Hidden Figures

“Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.”

Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley) The Imitation Game

Christine McPherson (Saorsie Ronan): “I hate California. I want to go to the East Coast. I want to go where culture is like New York.”

Marion McPherson (Laurie Metcalf): “How in the world did I raise such a snob?”

Christine: “Or at least Connecticut or New Hampshire where writers live in the woods.”

Marion: “You wouldn’t get into those schools anyway.”

Christine: “Mom!”

Marion: “You should just go to City College. You know, with your work ethic just go to City College and then to jail and then back to City College and then maybe you’d learn to pull yourself up and not expect everybody to do everything.”

Lady Bird

Shivering Soldier (Cillian Murphy): “Where are we going?”

Civilian Sailor (Mark Rylance): “Dunkirk.”

Soldier: “I’m not going back. If we go there we’ll die. You’re weekend sailors not the bloody Navy. You should be at home!”

Sailor: “There’s no hiding from this, son. We have a job to do.”

Dunkirk

Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen): “Shouldn’t we just maybe wait for some backup?”

Ben (Graham Greene): “This isn’t the land of backup, Jane. This is the land of ‘You’re on your own’.”
